Genevieve and Scott Kelley reached an agreement with the state and pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges. Prosecutors said the two left the country with Genevieve Kelley's daughter and didn't return until after the girl turned 18.

The two said they were protecting the girl from her biological father and Genevieve Kelley's ex-husband, saying that he abused her. The father, Mark Nunes, claimed he did not and was investigated, but never charged.

Genevieve Kelley will serve 12 months in jail starting in September, with two months suspended for good behavior. Under the guilty plea, three felony charges will be dropped.

Nunes said he doesn't believe the sentence was enough.

"A few months in jail is a small price to pay for what they have done," he said.

Scott Kelley was also sentenced to 12 months in jail with seven months suspended for good behavior.

Scott Kelley will report to jail in June. The judge ordered that Genevieve Kelley cannot have contact with Scott Kelley or her daughter while waiting to serve her sentence.

Once released, the two will have to undergo psychological evaluations and receive follow-up treatment.

The judge added that moving forward, Scott and Genevieve Kelley cannot come in the way of her daughter having contact with her paternal family.
